During the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2023 Hybrid Congress, the AML Hub was pleased to speak with Courtney DiNardo, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, US. We asked, “How might treatment with venetoclax plus hypomethylating agents (HMAs) improve quality of life and post-transplant outcomes?”
DiNardo begins by describing patient-reported outcomes and quality-of-life data from the VIALE-A study presented at EHA 2023, including EORTC QLQ-C3, PROMIS-fatigue, and EQ-5D-5L measures. She also discusses the clinical response and survival rates of patients who received venetoclax and HMA treatment prior to transplant, including the relevance of patient age and performance status.
